    Great explanation as I'm in learning mode. I just bought a 2014 C7 Z51 2LT from Jerry's Chevrolet in Burleson. 13,600 miles and in mint condition. My first vet ever at the age of 59. Torch Red with Kalahari leather. Definitely have to get use to driving something so low to the ground.

    The Z51 performance package doesn't come with magnetic ride control (MRC), it is a separate option. The way to know if a C7 has (MRC) - look at the top of the shock absorber, if you see a wire harness it has (MRC), if not then it doesn't.

    When you point at 17:43 you're not pointing at the oil fill cap. You're pointing at the coolant overflow reservoir. The oil fill cap is a few inches to the left and has the "DEXOS" and "SAE 5W-30" wording on it.

    The base corvette also has full three piece air dam under the car. Z51, GS, & Z06 are missing the middle piece. It lets more air under car to cool oil, brakes, & rear differential.

    The first new option is the ZF1 Appearance package, which adds the body colored spoiler and the split spoke rims of the Z51 package.

    Mag-ride or magnetic select ride control (MSRC) is an additional $2k option that is only available for the Z51. It must come with the car at the time of manufacture and cannot be retrofitted, because it ties in to the computer. It works by using a piston containing feromagnetic fluid which changes viscocity/density continuously based on the current that is passed through it, which as you mentioned is controlled by the driving modes. Your Z51 does NOT have this option, because it does not have the cable coming out the top of the suspension (it's also a different color). A Z51 without MSRC is stiffer all around than the base suspension, but the Z51 with MSRC is softer in Touring mode and stiffer in Sport and even more in Track than base. Not sure if Z51 with MSRC in Track is stiffer than stock Z51, my guess is probably. Unfortunately, only about 20% of people ordering a Z51 opted for MSRC, which is a shame for anyone commuting on one, who has bad bumpy roads, or is trying to find one like me.

      It was only available with Z51 (vs base) for 14 & 15, I believe. 16 and later it was a separate option and RPO code without Z51.

      I have a 2015 z51 without mrc and honestly it rides fine for me even on long trips. Just ditch the run flat tires and it's smooth enough for the daily, no problemo. I had mrc on my c6 and really never used it.

    You mentioned the words, "Track Focused, " which explains the Z51 package. If you never expect to track your car all these things do is create expensive things to repair if they fail. They have no value for street use.

    • @TheRogueVette

      A Z51 is a performance package that you can basically get in the base stingray version of the car. The Z07 is a trim level on the Z06, the grand sport is a higher model then the z51 or base stingray, it will have 1LT, 2LT OR 3LT for trim levels.

      If it has a dry sump oil system it is a z51, you will know its a z51 because the oil fill cap will be on the passenger side by the air cabin filter, not on the driver side valve cover.
